How to Start TRT Therapy: 3 steps
In terms of weight loss treatment, Tirzepatide has a unique mechanism of action. However, to help you understand how Tirzepatide helps with weight loss, we’ll need to start by explaining the significance of GLP and GIP hormones to the human body.
The glucagon-like peptide (GLP) is a naturally occurring incretin hormone released from various areas of the body, such as the stomach and central nervous system (CNS), to stimulate insulin release from the pancreas after food consumption. In addition to stimulating insulin release, the GLP hormone also inhibits glucagon secretion, which further helps to reduce glucose levels.
As all of this occurs, the GLP hormone also inhibits gastric acid secretion, which can slow down gastric emptying in the stomach and help reduce your appetite.
Then there’s the glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide hormone or GIP. Typically, soon after the GLP hormone is released, the GIP hormone is also released from the enteroendocrine cells of the small intestine during the start of digestion also to further assist the GLP hormone in promoting insulin secretion and regulating blood sugar levels in the body. However, the role of the GIP hormone doesn’t stop there. The hormone also stimulates lipolysis–the breakdown of fats and triglycerides into energy–and can target the CNS to inhibit your calorie intake, which can also make it easier to reduce body weight.
To utilize these metabolic and digestive effects for weight loss, pharmaceutical manufacturers synthetically engineer drugs known as receptor agonists to mimic the actions of the GLP and GIP certain hormones, thus the creation of GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist medications.
By combining these two drugs, science has created the first ever GIP/GLP-1 dual receptor agonist, which Tirzepatide uses to create a synergistic effect to enhance the stimulation of insulin secretion, gastric emptying, and glycemic control on a more advanced scale than Ozempic and Wegovy. To help maintain this process consistently to produce the desired results, Tirzepatide is administered via subcutaneous injection once weekly, allowing it to work effectively as a treatment for both weight loss and diabetes.
Benefits of Men's Hormone Therapy (TRT)
Introduction and Glucose Monitoring Before administering a liraglutide injection for weight loss, you will first need to learn how to use the medication properly. Since liraglutide helps to lower blood sugar, it is recommended that you check your glucose levels before and after meals (and even at bedtime) while using liraglutide to ensure that they don’t drop extremely low.
Injection Administration Liraglutide is usually administered as a daily injection or shot under the skin of your thighs, upper arm, or stomach. During the week, you will need to keep track of where you administer each shot and use a different body area each time to avoid redness and skin irritation at the injection site.
Co-administration with Insulin If you’re a person who takes insulin for Type 2 diabetes, you will need to avoid taking liraglutide at the same time as your insulin shot. That also means that you shouldn’t attempt to mix the two medications in the same syringe. Although you can administer both medications on the same injection site, you should not take the respective doses next to each other. Instead, allow a few moments between shots and find injection sites within a reasonable distance of each other to avoid any potential complications.
Dosage and Management Typically, liraglutide is taken once a day. However, the dosage of liraglutide injections will differ depending on the patient and the nature of each case. This will include the dosage strength of each injection, the number of doses taken each day, and the time needed to treat your condition, which your physician will determine. To help with weight loss, doctors will typically start patients off with a 0.6 mg dosage during the first week to allow the body to adjust to the medication’s side effects before gradually increasing the dose by 3 mg in the following weeks.
If you miss your regular dose, try to take it as soon as you remember. If the time frame is too close to your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and proceed with your next dose at the scheduled time to avoid double dosing. If it’s been three days since your last dose, consult with your physician about restarting your treatment process with the low dose to lower the chance of experiencing side effects.
